There are many methodologies for improving the biogas output from anaerobic digestion. These techniques include physical (e.g., gas production and feedstock parameters), reactor configuration and chemical parameters (e.g., pH and volatile fatty acid concentrations) within the digester can help to link particular functions and features of the process. Using this expanse of data, mathematical models can be used to understand and forecast the biological process within an anaerobic digester. Such models can then be further developed on a process and biological level to improve their ability to mimic the function of the reactor. This chapter will provide background into modelling and reactor configuration in order to obtain a digital twin of an anaerobic digester.

The research has been conducted to find out rumen metabolite of Balinese cows that being given stewed water of Lannea coromandelica peel as a feed additive. The research used group random design (RAK) with 4 treatments of rations and 3 times repetition. Each repetition used three Balinese cows. The weight of cows being used ranging between 137.5 – 235 kg. Basic rations being given were equal, arranged based on a percentage of dry material (% DM) namely: 50% of arrow grass, 20% of gamal leaves (Gliricidia sepium), 1% of urea and 29% of rice bran. Whereas for treatment was feed additive level. The basic ratio of +0 was feed additive (A). The basic ration of +1000 ml was feed additive (B). The basic ration of +1500 ml was feed additive (C) and a basic ration of +2000 ml was feed additive (D). Variables being observed were: N-NH3, volatile fatty acid total and volatile fatty acid partial (acetic acid, propionate acid and butyrate acid). The result of research showed that the administration of 1000 ml-2000 ml of feed additive of stewed water of Lannea coromandelica peel in basic ration differed markedly (P<0.05) to increase the concentration of N-NH3, volatile fatty acid total and volatile fatty acid partial. The utilization of stewed water of Lannea coromandelica peel as a feed additive in basic ration was increasing rumen metabolite of Balinese cows.
